In a free update coming to Resident Evil 6 this December, players will now be able to team Resident Evil‘s sultry spy Ada Wong up with a new partner. Today, Capcom released screenshots for this new mysterious person.

While we don’t know yet who exactly he (or she?) is, we do know that they’ll be completely option. If you still want to play Ada’s scenarios as a lone wolf, you’ll be able to do so. If you want a second player to hop in and join you, you can have the partner available.

Also, this free update will allow players to play Ada’s campaign right from the start of the game, without the need to unlock it.
